Default What Is It?

My neighbor has a Florida room that has a metal strip about 10 in. high
running around the bottom (screen enclosed porch) to keep dirt from
washing in. I know these are also used around swimming pools with
enclosures ...

What are they called? I think they are aluminum. Thanks.

The technical name for the metal is "flashing" no matter what use it is
put to.
